As long as you have the correct size they are easy to put on. Just stretch a wee bit to slip on the rim. If the rubber tire won't stretch enough it is most likely the wrong size. There are at least 3 different bobbin tire sizes. Hope this helps.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053469261622557578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2034316472310869056.post-76924127657742239362014-10-23T23:18:35.677-05:002014-10-23T23:18:35.677-05:00Hope you can help me-I have a 15-91 and just took ...Hope you can help me-I have a 15-91 and just took the bobbin winder tire off to replace it.
